purchased one queen size storage platform kit to see how good, or bad it would be. for the money i was willing to experiment. to my delight this piece of furniture was a breeze to put together. yes, there are a million screws but a screw gun makes short work of them. a brad nailer is handy for the drawers but not essential. the machining was precise and the instructions are easy to follow with accurate pictures of what you are suppose to do. my wife and i liked this kit so much we bought three more! the instructions say 5 mins for this or 10 mins for that. forget it. the assembly is not a speed test. im 61 years old and fairly handy but an extra person for the final step is very helpful. friends that have seen these bed frames cant believe the quality for the cost involved. i highly recommend this product.
It was not too bad putting it together, it took about 8 hrs of work and then I had to get it perfectly square for the drawers to slide in properly. Now that it is all together, its great!!!
As one reviewer said, assembly is a bit tedious, but all the parts were there and went together well. After two years the drawers are all good and track the way theyre supposed to. If you have problems putting stuff together, have no patients for following instructions, this probably isnt for you.
My biggest complaint about this bed frame is the edges of the headboard and foot board are frigging sharp! Theres no way to ease them down without exposing bare particle board, otherwise I would.
UPDATE:
Had to break this puppy down and move cross country. Everything went back together with no problems. I had saved my original assembly manual, which helped Im sure.
This is an awesome bed dont get me wrong, it has plenty of drawer space,it is a very modern looking piece compared to what my husband and I had previously and it actually made our memory foam mattress much more comfortable to sleep on compared to the box-spring that came with the mattress. My only problem with the bed is that any moderate movement makes the bed shake which makes me feel like its going to crumble beneath me, but so far that has not happened and weve had it for about two weeks now.
Update: Still holding up nicely, not scared of it anymore, reason being it survived being moved and reassembled and still is a bit wobbly and after about a year of heavy traffic I dont think its going to crumble anytime soon. One of drawers suffered by my hand though it hit railing on its way to the moving truck and cracked, made me sad but its my own damn fault for not being careful, do wish they would make something a little sturdier in the materials used department.
We were looking for some extra space to store clothes in a small bedroom and soon began considering the idea of a storage bed. We looked around quite a bit and found that the cost of good quality storage beds was a little high for us. However, we came across this item on which qualified for Prime shipping and decided to give it a shot. We are very glad that we did!
The bed arrived in three boxes very neatly organized and packaged with good care. The directions are very easy to understand and include helpful tips and photos. Personally, not exactly a handy, mechanically inclined individual--but perhaps even I could have handled most of the assembly on my own with a hammer, power screwdriver, and about two hours of patience.
The process went smooth and the finished product is actually better than I expected---the quality of the wood and particularly the drawers is really good for the price.
We got it to the house two days after it was ordered and had it together the day it arrived. For the money, the Prepac 6-drawer storage bed is an excellent value.
My wife and are I both very large people and I was a little dubious of the design at first. But it in fact holds up very well. I was able to assemble it with no extra help. The connectors are well designed so this could be dissembled if you moved. And it does offer quite a bit of under bed storage even though the drawers dont go all the way to the center like they would on a nicer bed.
The bed came as ordered, but was short one part and another one broken. Called and the missing and broken part was promptly shipped. Putting the bed together was a snap and the finished product was fantastic. Would recommend this product to anyone needing a king platform bed with storage. J Camp, FL
Although I did not purchase this bed through , I did read a number of the reviews of this product here. After seeing many negative reviews, I was hesitant to make the purchase but decided I needed the storage and did not see many other comparable products that offered as much at the same price point. I am very glad I did make the purchase because this is a great bed!!!!
I was concerned with the many reviews of damaged and missing parts but my bed arrived in perfect condition with all pieces included and undamaged. The packaging was extremely sturdy and seemed like it could take a good amount of punishment.
I purchased this bed because we have more stuff than space and this provided a large amount of storage without increasing the space used by our old bed. The bed is solid and assembly was very easy with clear instructions. The majority of the work was related to building and installing the 12 drawers which was made much easier by using a small ratcheting screw driver and in retrospect would have been even easier if I had purchased a small battery powered screwdriver. The drawers themselves are well made and provide as much storage as a standard size dresser drawer.
All of the pieces fit together perfectly and with the exception the pre-drilled holes on the thin upper and lower side rails being slightly too small. That caused a minor headache because the large bolts that hold the bed together screw into the joiners you place in those holes causing them to be misaligned. In the process of trying to hammer the joiners into proper position, one went completely through the hole cracking the veneer but I was able to repair it with some adhesive and touch-up paint. You will need to use a good amount of force to tighten the large bolts that hold the bed together to ensure that the frame is solid. Using glue on the joints will make this even more sturdy but I did not do that in my assembly because the bed is in a small room and will need to be partially disassembled to remove it.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. It is a solidly constructed bed with a huge amount of storage.
This is the best thing I bought in the last 5 years. Space saver. Great price. Not that easy to set it up, but I did it by myself for the short time. Im very satisfied.

Like the Storage!

No problems after two years

Awesome storage, but a little scary..

Suprisingly sturdy!

The connectors are well designed so this could be dissembled if you moved. And it does offer quite a bit of under bed storage even though the drawers dont go all the way to the center like they would on a nicer bed.
